A thread to shit post about newish canine members of your family...or share old Dwag stories.

After being out of the dog bidness for about 3 years, we picked up a 13 week old mini bernedoodle last Sat. She'll be about 25 lbs give or take fully grown. Her name is "Josie". The pup is heavy on the poodle face, but the body is all Bernese Mt Dawg.

    A Bernese doodle is a freaking killer idea Yella. I love several of the breeds I call swiss Mtn dogs. I think my mutt with the tri color hair has some of those genetics.

    I thinks with the Swiss Mt Dogs, you get a little bit more chill of a Doodle than a Ausi, Lab, or Golden Doodle. But I think think Bernese can be a bit stubborn some times as well. At any rate, all you can do is train the best you can and hope for the best.

    Couldn't find a good recent pic that didn't require redacting my GF from it.

    All black is a first gen labradoodle, so a poodle parent and a black lab parent. He's extremely long and tall and about 90lbs. Smart like a poodle, endlessly loud, playful and goofy like a lab poodle cross. Can swim for miles.

    The shorter guy is a mystery that some poor red haired girl (my GF is a ginger and can't refuse a ginger kid) with a tweaker mom pawned off on my GF. He turned out cool as hell with a burly frame, huge head, and amazing color highlights. He's kind of like a long haired Rottweiler. He's ~85 lbs and is the muscle of the pair.


    Why are there no fish in the is pic @chuck ?
    That pool to the right (downstream) in the photo almost always holds a couple of steelhead. I don't think they like the dogs though.

    Labradoodles have been referred to as frankendogs and ours is a perfect example. He's wired super tight. He's harmless and sweet, but for him exploring, playing, running, chasing shit, barking at clouds, etc isn't a past time. It's a life or death business matter. He's nuts and won't ever stop given a choice.

    We saved his ass from owners who left him alone for days at a time for his first year and that compounded his issues. He's about to turn 6 and is mostly over the anxiety, chewing, counter surfing, etc. He's cool and entertaining as fuck, but a serious handful. I'd recommend most people stay away from the breed. I'd stay away myself if I could go back in time.

    Bernese are a naturally mellow but hard working breed I think. I'm sure your puppy will have the usual challenges but I bet it's an amazing dog, and beautiful.
